DONATE

This projects will support our Girls Scholarship program, mentoring program and other girls development programs, activities and needs of the organisation that ensures increased enrollment, retention and completion rates of girls in primary and post primary schools particularly in conflict prone areas of Nigeria and beyond.

Challenge

Nigeria Digest of Education Statistics (NDES), indicates that more than 10 million children are out of school, and about 60 per cent of these out-of-school children are girls. Furthermore, with a completion rate of 64%, 39% and 29% for girls in primary, junior secondary and senior secondary school respectively, many girls who do enroll drop out early.While education indicators are low nationwide, they continue to remain weakest in the North-East, West and Central zones of the country.

Long-Term Impact

The main objectives of this Project includes: 1. increased access to quality education for girls in primary and post primary schools 2. Improved Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) among girls. 3. Effective mentorship support towards personal and professional development of girls 4. Influencing policies and advocating with Government stakeholders to take the education of girls with seriousness and ensuring sustainability of girl child education and empowerment initiatives in Nigeria and beyond.
